Priesthood of God

What a precious moment it was to have each of these boys be ordained to offices in the Aaronic Priesthood.

James is now a Deacon.

Jaden is now a Teacher.

Hiram is now a Priest.

What a blessing to have so much priesthood power in our home.

A song that reflects my feelings:

35395, Children's Songbook, The Gospel, A Young Man Prepared, 166–67

Though a boy I may appear,

Yet a man I soon will be.

If I prepare and live clean in ev'ry thought, word, and deed,

I will be worthy to hold the sacred priesthood of God.

So I now prepare myself; I will serve my fellowmen.

Being armed with the truth, with the scriptures my guide,

I'll go forward, a young man prepared,

I'll go forward, a young man prepared.

Words and music: Daniel Lyman Carter, b. 1955.
